Congratulations, Alex!
Sample paragraph:
The “SQ” in the cache name above signifies Spirit Quest, a project started in Indiana (GCHRFJ) to distinguish caches that are set in cemeteries. The idea has since spread throughout the Midwest and elsewhere.
Wisconsin cache owners are joining in as of 2007, with the designation WSQ prefixing their cache names. As elsewhere, this is a voluntary effort to help designate and highlight these special areas.
Please be respectful of the area, and observe their rules and posted hours which are typically sunrise to sunset.
Working backwards thru Zuma’s three points:
3. Is there a desire to make it as complex as the ISQ format? (personally, I dont think so, but interested in comment.)
Absolutely not! Keep it simple. Something in the title is all I think is necessary.
2. Is there a desire to develop a paragraph similiar to the Ohio paragraph? (Personally, I would like to see this, but interested in comment.)
I’m open to this as well. We could develop a paragragh, and then let it up to the individual cache owners to use it or not.
1. Is there a desire to number the SQ caches, and why?
I do not think it is necessary to number the caches, but I prefer it. When I started my WCC series I numbered them to help keep track (especially where some had the same names). However, I have not seen any other cachers with cemetery caches shown up with the same names, so that is why it is not necssary.
But, if you are familiar with my WCC series, you will also realize when you are looking at your GPS, these caches should up as WCC317 or WCC046, etc, and so are readily identifiable as such.
I think if we were to prefix our Wisconsin cemetery caches with SQ or WSQ that should do the trick. (I will plan on changing my WCC to whatever the new initials are, but keep my numbering).
So, we would see something like:
WSQ Minckler Cemetery
WSQ Cousin Paul’s Cache
WSQ Hilltop View
WSQ 046 PotterYou schedule it, they will come!
I do not see a problem. You can not go to every cache on the same day, so the same applies to Events.
As the number of cachers increases, you will begin to see more and more Events, in closer proximity to each other, on the same days.
Out caching this afternoon. Up to 998 if I counted correctly.

My goal for 2007 is to complete the Wisconsin Delorme Challenge by the first week in August. And then hopefully get an honorary Wisconsin Geocaching Member title rather than my current ‘friend’ title to mark that accomplisment. I’d also like to be up to 1500 finds by year end.
I think perhaps lagrac has a point. We need another category.
Part of a ‘big day’ number is the planning beforehand. Mapping out the caches and the route to take helps eliminate a lot of wasted time.
I cover this in my Going Paperless classses.
Zuma was here in the Appleton area over the weekend, and he hit 46 on Sunday afternoon (12:30-8:00). But then, he had not done too many cachers here before, so there were several hundred to choose from!
Gary, are you aware I have a bookmark list of cemetery caches in Wisconsin?
BTW, whatever format is used in IDing them, it will require a bookmark to find all the caches using it. Since I already have the one bookmark started, I would be willing to continue doing that.
Oooppps! Your attitude is showing!
Well, there is no problem with that!
(How many temps did you delete?)
Lake Kristine, 10 miles south of Hartmann.
OK, I see that now. Those are ‘users’ not ‘members’ . But ….
A member is a voting member. We have lots of ‘friends’ from other places who browse our site and post messages.
Congratulations!
Hmmm….some puzzles still left up here?
